dreams and メルティ
So, last night I dreamed that I killed at least two people in my home while my family was away, and threw their bloody skulls into the woods behind my house. I knew they would probably be found there, but I didn't want to touch them anymore. And one of them fell into a little pond.
I woke up doubting whether I was still human or not, now that I'd killed people like that.
Then I realized that I hadn't actually killed people but I still felt pretty bad.
I don't think this relates to what I was doing before I went to bed, that is, hunting around on the internet for Melty Blood Actress Again translations. I didn't find much. I actually started looking for move information (I spectacularly suck at playing this game, you have no idea), but didn't find much in the way of that, and instead stumbled onto the Melty Blood TVTRopes page. It contains a little tiny bit of plot information, which is more than I knew before, because, hey, still can't read Japanese. #%$@...
The best is the translation of Ryougi Shiki's pre-end-battle dialogue with Archetype Earth. The translation is a little wobbly, but more or less intelligible. And it's possible I'd understand better if I knew anything about the plot of this story beyond the first Melty Blood.
RS: ........! What is this aura!? You mean I got the wrong one!?
AE: So it seems. The providence of the Air (Sky) and the providence of the Star (planet) are separate things, ours paths ones that will diverge one day and move apart.
AE: And yet It cannot suffer even that? Apparently, It has deemed that if they are fated to conflict, it is all the same to conclude things here.
AE: What impatience. The fault lies in that your Aspect (or maybe Phase?) is an Order that encompasses all. It is all well to have many options, but to lack uniformity is a deplorable thing is it not?
RS: What the.....I can't see your death isn’t the problem, no, you have no death.
RS: You're........so, you're the one.
AE: Yes, you need say no more. The target the Being that summoned you to eliminate is this vessel, the manifestation of lifespan (Life) most far-reaching on this planet.
AE: But even that is of little meaning, for you, you came simply to bring death to that which does not die, did you not? Your actions are ones drenched with emotion, but I will not mock that.
AE: Because, I am the same. Gazing at the severed limbs scattered about there, I cannot help but make a terrible smile. Thus, I will answer your provocation.
RS: Heh, so you want revenge for that weirdo huh? All of this is going to be a dream anyway and everything will be back just the way it was when we wake up, but my, aren't you the faithful one.
RS: But hey, why not? You got me interested, monster, because I can understand just how you feel.
AE: That is excellent. Then. Flee in terror, peon. End my smile with thy death.
RS: Says you, vampire. Whatever you are, however many billions long your life is, it doesn't matter.
RS: Either way, it's the end of the dream. Let's do it. I'll show you that I can kill anything alive, even god.
And then I went to Beast's Lair in hopes of finding more translations, but haven't found anything yet but a couple of conversations between Dust of Osiris and Wallachia and Riesbyfe.
Oh, apparently Len is actually made from a dead kitten and a dead little girl (something else I didn't know). I guess this is handy for people who want to avoid the whole twelve-year-old-looking succubus complication. Just think about dead kittens.
